[Q] HTC Desire Apk Help - Parsing Error - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there.
I have a problem with my HTC Desire. I have downloaded an .apk file for it and also the Astro File Manager to install it. I installed astro file manager and went to the apk location. I clicked install but there is a problem. Every time I try to click install it comes up with the following message:
Parse Error
There is a problem parsing the package.
At first I thought the file is corrupt. I downloaded several other apks (same file) but nothing seemed to bypass the error. Please can anyone tell me what is wrong with it. I tried searching on google but nothing relevant came up with the search.
I have attached the file (apk) to this thread.
Thank you!

Hi There.
Thanks for replying, I have one problem, you were right, it doesn't work because it is version 2.3 and up and I have 2.2.2. But there is another problem, Minecraft doesn't work either and it is 2.1 and up. I really don't understand. Here are my phone specs:
Software Information:
Android Version: 2.2.2
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.15
And also here is the minecraft that doesn't work for me even when it says 2.1 and it is available on Google Play. But I don't want to buy it just because of credit card details and such.
Thanks again

But I don't want to buy it because I'm cheap and like to steal apps instead of supporting the developers who put time, effort and money into creating these apps for me.
Fixed that for you. This is clearly what you meant.

Do something better with your life

Did I tell anyone to comment about what I said? No I did not. So why do you have to be the only one who is messed up? Hah, you have a rooted phone meaning you can get free items too so why don't you shut up and go play outside kid.. If you dont wanna do that at least do something useful and help people. This is a website for helping not for ignorant people such as yourself, so please find something better to do.
I don't want to give my credit card details and others because they are private and any good hacker can bypass Android's security and enter the website and steal everything...I see that you don't know what happened to Sony last year do you?

Hey junior calm down... Bortak is very helpful but warez? C'mon! A lot of effort been put to development of these apk... as you saying about security on android you did first step how to help hackers you are afraid of... Having root and downloading dodgy apk from untrusted sites... Well done...
Now to the point of your question... your system needs to be updated or you need to download correct version of your apk...
Please delete that paid app from your attachment as it is breaking xda rules:
6. Do not post warez.
If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, either pay or find your cracks and serials somewhere else. We do not accept warez nor do we permit any member to promote or describe ways in which Warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained.
Don't take it a bad way pls

Received Desire today but pre-release software installed

Hi all, I am new here.
I had my new HTC Desire from T-Mobile delivered today. It's a good phone but I have a problem. They sent a phone with pre-release software installed. Every screen has a watermark stating "HTC Confidential" and numbers.
Any ideas of what I can do? I can't find the official rom anywhere to download. I phoned T-Mobile who couldn't do anything as they are out of stock. It was suggested I phoned back on Monday. Very helpful
I know from hotukdeals that there are at least 2 others with this problem and the lady at T-Mobile said there may have been a batch sent out incorrectly.
Here's the softwares versions if you are interested:
Firmware = 2.1
Baseband Version = 32.26.00.24U_4.04.00.03_
Kernal Version = 2.6.29-9882e023 htc-kernal and18-2#1
Build Number = 1.01.110.4 CL131766 test-keys
Software Number = 1.01.110.4
Browser version = WebKit 3.1
Thanks for any help.
(had to remove at symbol after kernal as forum won't allow it)
Take it back ASAP.
Meanwhile, just play with it.
It's not your fault and T-Mobile have to replace it.
I believe you can't upgrade the phone even if you did have the ability to download a new firmware.
Have you had a look at the contents of the SD card to see what goodies you mich have been accidentally given?
If your recovery img accepts files signed with test keys, this could be really good news

No didn't think of that, will have a look and report back!
Maybe being stupid but I can't see where you go to browse the SD card?
Either plug your handset into a pc and browse it via your pc or take the sdcard out and put it into a card reader in your pc
If your on msn, PM me your details if you get stuck
Connected to PC but Vista couldn't find a driver
Or go to the android market and download any file browser?
There are lots available that are also free

Good thinking. Got Astro. Nothing of any note on there.
Have you checked your bootloader version and info? You never know you could have an S-OFF variant
I would laugh it he found some interesting information about either HTC or Tmobile on this phone
It would be great if your Desire was the key to rooting the device!

I hope so! OP, please make sure you report back here what you find - you may end up being a hero!
Check your bootloader. If it's S-OFF, party, for you will be the only one with a rooted Desire, and then use a RUU to update to a production version.
Does your keyboard have the speech to text button? If so, can you see if it works? I've just noticed that some of the older reviews on Youtube clearly show the button while it looks as though more recent roms have disabled it. From what I gather, this is because Google wants to keep this exclusive to the Nexus for the time being.
It would be cool if you have a rom which has this...
If your interested in installing a new HTC rom onto your device give me a quick PM

Wouldn't have a clue how to do that. Let me know how and I'll take a look.
Here is how to find out
1.Turn off your phone
2. Hold down the volume up/down button. and while holding this down press the power button.
3. release all buttons when the phone turns on.
If you write down all the text that you see at the top left of the screen and post it here we will be able to tell you

[Q] Help with rooting (long rant)

Hello people
I'm a user of the Arc s and who has spent over 5 hrs trying to root my phone but with no luck,
I've tried every way of rooting I could find but they ether don't work or I couldn't download the required files.
Meaning when I try and download the flashtools, A i don't know which one if the correct link because theres like 600 links or something and, B the person who uploaded the files had to use a server with a 1 download a hr limet and I'm NOT paying anything or signing up to the hosting place.
When I try one of the easy ways, like the one click app way they don't do anything, like i get cmd popping up for like 2 seconds then closing but nothing happens.
Just so you guys know, I'm not a noob. I have done these things before on different phones, but A it's been a long time scenes I've rooted anything before and B my Arc needs to be rooted in a very strange way which I've never seen before.
So the bottom line is i need help, can anyone help? anything would be useful.
Flashtool has 3 links on the main page ...
http://androxyde.github.com/
All 3 worked fine for me. Let's start there
What build are you on? If it is .62/69 then the one click method its never going to work.
If on .42 then the one click will work
if on ics the easy rooting will work add I have used them both.
Flashtools look for version .7.0.1
When using three one click rooting phone needs to be powered on. Connect via usb run file via PC then follow the promts on screen.
I an not in front of PC so cant post links.

and It doesn't work, I just get waiting for device and nothing happens. I've waited like 30min with nothing. and yes I have got usb debugging on and unknown sources on aswell.
Any ideas on what can be wrong?
ok I've had a bit more luck, I've found the newer version of the program and now it runs through the process but it just fails, I don't get root when the program sas it's fished :S.
now whats going wrong?
Ok I've changed tack, I've tried the flashtools metherd but when I try that it gives me another ******* error. It can't mount the system.

It almost sounds like your on GB... seriously. Press Menu - Settings - About (scroll to the bottom you'll have the version of Android you're running)

[Q] Mt6573 cannot root, google play not working

I got an HTC One X bootleg from China and the google play apk I installed does not work at all. I understand, I need to root it so I can install a modified version of google play. I've tried every way possible to root it using bin4ry, gingerbreak, doomlord and superoneclick to no avail.
All I wanted was to make google play work that's it. Is there anybody who can extend help? Thanks in advance...

Do you have your bootloader unlocked?
Do you have your Google account activated?
Are you 100% positive that your One X is genuine?
Which G Play are you trying to install? How re you trying to do that?
Please provide some additional info.

No, I was fully aware that my device is just a clone.
I downloaded the latest version of google play apk. I downloaded it to my sd card then installed it manually.
Hold volume down and power to get to bootloader. Take a pic of it, then select recovery, take a pic of that too.

[Q] Galaxy Grand Duos GT-I9082 CLONE (MT6572 Chipset)

Hey guys, I have here a cloned Samsung galaxy grand duos GT-I9082 which is owned by my neice and it comes with MT6572 Chipset and a 1GB of RAM. So the problem is it was boot looped due to change of dpi and the worst is, she used the root function in MTK Droid tools though it is already rooted via framaroot and I think what she does really messed up the device. Now I can't access the recovery (through pressing both volume down + power) though it's in chinese language before. When I tried to boot it normally, it just opens the backlight for 10 seconds then turns off then turns on again. When I pressed the volume up + power, "Android System Recovery <3e>" pops out, which is strange co'z it wasn't there before (according to my neice). The only way adb detects the phone is when I choose "apply update using ADB" and there it was detected as a sideload. Lastly, when I do a normal boot while connected to a pc, in device manager, an "MT65XX Preloader" driver pops out (meaning it is detected) before the device restarts again.
So, does this phone still have a chance to be fixed? I feel it still have a little chance, but I don't know anymore where to find any solution to this problem. Hope you guys help me regarding this issue. God bless!
up up up up
im also having the same problem.
does anyone know what to do?
THANKS
If you really want to you can reinstall the official firmware. Use this link
http://www.needrom.com/download/gt-i9082-mt6572/
I'm brick my phone month before.
Suggestion from upper post not work for me.
Do you have another suggestion - rom?
CU
UPDATE: I've found a working ROM for my phone in 4shared. But it does not detect the inserted sim cards because it doesn't come up with "secro.img" file. You might try flashing this ROM here: (kindly remove spaces on the link as XDA prohibits posting of links with at least 10 posts.)

thank you so much for your reply ill try it now hope it works. update you soon with my progress.
it worked but still cant find a way to fix the sim problem
thanks
I'm glad that it also works on your device. And finally I've found a workaround for this undetected SIM cards problem. All you have to do is to enter your IMEI inside the engineer mode. So first, download "MTK engineer mode" in play store then in the app, choose "MTK settings" and then tap "GPRS" then enter your IMEI for SIM 1 (if you only have 1 IMEI, you can both enter the same IMEI for SIM 2. DO NOT INCLUDE SPECIAL CHARACTERS). After typing your IMEI, tap "Write IMEI". Do the same procedure for SIM 2. Once you're done, close the app then restart. Hope this works for you.

i have bricked my device i9082 MT6572 clone, same with yours right? most probably, the ROM you flashed was a little bit incompatible due to its scatter file. i've detected the problem and you had not included the secro.img which is essential for the IMEI, though flashtool can't include it coz the address is not correct.. after hard works, i've got to have a working ROM but i've not uploaded it yet. i'm gonna upload it soon so please, stay tuned

Can anybody confirm a root for A5CN701?

I've been waiting for ages for a root for A5CN701, yet no one has even tried to figure it out
I've also found a lot of posts showing how to downgrade to 5.0 but no one has made a detailed instruction and confirmed that it works!
Seriously, i've been dying for a method to root!
Anyone has any idea, please share at this topic! Much appreciated!
I'm in the same situation as you. I have been waiting for root too or the instructions how to downgrade to previous version.
This is by far the best Android tablet that I have ever used (previosly had Nexus 7 2013) and when you take it to hand and start use it you immediately feel what the quality means.

Nothing to contact - just download their .apk and run it. You need a wi-fi connection while it's trying to root.

Assuming your downloaded .apk isn't corrupted (try downloading it again), you need to install the .apk (as opposed to "running" it). I assume you tried to install it, but I'm just covering the bases. Perhaps Lolipop has a security feature that prevents Kingroot from installing? (Although Kingroot says it works w/ 5.0.) And I presume you have allowed "unknown sources" to install under Settings > Security?

Sorry to hear it didn't work. That, and the lack of ext SD, have convinced me to buy an Asus Zenpad S 8 instead. Cheaper too!
